Hello all,
I recently got my hands on a non-function cooling cell, and I intend to convert it into a rehearsal studio for drums and band. I'll start with a few pictures to give you an idea of what I'm talking about.
The roam is approximately 5m long, 3.4m wide and 3m high. The walls and the ceiling are lined with 2x6cm of styrofoam. Behind the styrofoam are rough brick walls. The entire cell is inside a barn, so thermal isolation is less of a problem.
I intend to line the walls and ceiling with carpet and then, based on measurements, add acoustic elements. However, my major doubt at this point is, should I leave the styrofoam in place? As you can see, it's rather dirty. Also, leaving it in place means I'll have to anchor anything attached to the walls in the brick wall behind it. Removing it will be quite a bit of work, though that is non of a problem. It does however mean that I'll have to cover the brick walls with something, wood and carpet perhaps?
Could some of you maybe give their thoughts on this? What would you do in this case? Please keep in mind that the intended use is for rehearsals and practice, not recording.
Thank you all very much!
Tim
